Fox News has hit a new low by announcing that they
are giving Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar airtime in order to allow them to
explain away how they covered up the child molestation crimes committed
by their son Josh.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar announced via a post on
their blog that they would be going on Fox News next week, “Next week we
will sit down with Megyn Kelly on Fox News to share our hearts with you
about the pain that we walked through as a family twelve years ago, the
tears we all shed and the forgiveness that was given. We appreciate the
outpouring of love and prayers for our family at this time.”
Fox News later confirmed that the interview will air on Wednesday June 3 at 9 PM ET:
The Duggars have chosen to go on Fox News because
they know that they are going to get to avoid the tough question by
appearing on a network that will give them lots of sympathy. The Duggars
didn’t choose to go on 60 Minutes, or do a primetime network special.
The Duggars haven’t held a press conference or answered any questions.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are pulling from page one of the Republican
playbook. When in trouble, run to Fox News.
Jim Bob and Michelle have already tipped their hands
about what they are going to say. They aren’t going to apologize for
enabling a child molester and hiding his crimes. They aren’t going to
admit their own wrongdoing and take responsibility for their actions.
The Duggar parents are going to go on Fox News and
talk about how the left and the media are out to get them. There will be
plenty of references to how they have forgiven Josh and so has God. The
Duggars will talk about how unfair this has all been to them, and how
they have suffered. The Duggars will tell the nation how heartbreaking
this was for them. They will discuss how they cried and prayed. Jim Bob
Duggar will repeat his debunked tale of going to the police. Jim Bob and
Michelle Duggar will be the persecuted party.
The one thing that Jim Bob and Michelle won’t talk
about is Josh Duggar’s victims. They also won’t talk about how they
covered up their sons crimes to protect the only job they’ve ever been
good at, being a reality television freak show.
Lies and falsehoods are a normal course of business
at Fox News, but giving airtime to parents who covered up the sex crimes
of their own son is a new low even for Fox News.
If the Duggars think one Fox News interview is going
to save their show, they’re wrong. Advertisers have bolted by the
dozens. Many of these advertisers are promising not to buy ads on any
future Duggar related programming. The end looks like it is near for 19
Kids and Counting. If Fox News really was interested in journalism, they
might try to interview the sisters that Josh Duggar molested.
Fox News isn’t interested in the true story.
Instead, the nation should be prepared for an interview where Jim Bob
Duggar explains away his child molester son’s crimes.
The
Duggars want to tell you why they are the real victims, and Fox News is
going to help them take their message of child sex abuse cover-up
nationwide.
